It's the Great Pumpkin Festival!

Booooo to Everyone!

What a super, fantastic, fabulous, fun, splendid and spooky day we had! First off, the baby yard lawn area was covered with tarps and blankets and had hay bales, corn stalks, pumpkins and decoration everywhere. We spent the entire morning outside where we read stories, sang songs and heard a semi-spooky story about the "Vanishing Bones".

We got to eat some delicious cupcakes that Blake's family brought for morning snack. Then we decorated cookies, got tattooed and went searching for our own pumpkins and the mysterious bones. They were hidden all over the yard. Since we covered Anatomy yesterday, we had several children asking if they had found femurs or tibias. Actually, they were toilet paper and paper towel rolls painted white and semi-crinkled up to look old and battered. They asked for a "redux" of the game this afternoon!

This afternoon will bring us bobbing for apples, playing a bean bag toss game, pinning the nose on the pumpkin, dropping clothespins in the witch's cauldron and finally watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", as many of our friends do not know who Snoopy, Linus, Charlie Brown or Lucy are.

Hope you had as splendid a day as we have!
Miss Sue
